Types of Email Accounts

There are several types of email accounts you can create.

POP/IMAP account. Email sent to this type
of account will be stored on the server. Users then will be able to download
their email by using an email client software or check their mails by using
webmail. A POP/IMAP account also functions as a Jabber ® account, please see
Chapter 9, Jabber Instant Messaging for more information about Jabber ®

Email forwarder. This type of email
accounts will forward any incoming mail to another email address. For example,
you can forward your emails to your account with a local ISP, but you can use
the address associated with your domain, not your ISP.

Mailing list. Mailing list consists of its
members' email addresses. Any email sent to a mailing list account will be
distributed to its members. Our mailing list system is fully automatic, for
example a user can become a member by themselves, email bounces are handled
automatically, etc.

Auto responder. Autoresponder will
immediate reply any incoming email with a given message. Beside that, the
incoming message can be forwarded to another email address as
well.

Email bouncer. This type of email account
will simply reject any incoming email, just like when this account has not been
made. For a reason why this email type is sometimes necessary, please refer
to the section called â€śDefault Mail Handlerâ€ť for more information.

Email blackhole. This type of email
account will simple discards any incoming emails.

Custom mail handler. An advanced user can
use dynamic email processing by using custom mail handler. To use this feature,
you need a working knowledge on how our email server (qmail-1.03)
works.

Tip

POP/IMAP email accounts are also user configurable to forward
email to another address and also as an autoresponder (vacation).
